Honk Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Now maybe the right threat... sadly my deadwatch was not up to the task of killing a blightking spam list. The point costs of the kings (5 for 160) triggered my Tourette. Got wiped early round 5, the scenario (?!hold&conquer?!) since I would have needed 5 models to sneak a win through summoning, tough luck. 1.5k is not enough for competitive DW, 2k with 9/6/3 flayers might be more like it. And sadly he pushed me into starting round, so no double turn. Flayers with unholy vitality and black hunger are pretty nice, though...

Heroflegend21 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Has anybody tried merging Monster Mash with ghoul patrol? This is the list I'm thinking: GkoTG- general, majestic horror, Flayed pennant (400) GkoTG- grim Garland (400) GKoZD- (440) Crypt ghast courtier- (80) (Optional) GKoF- (140) Battleline: 3x10 Ghouls (300) Battalion Ghoul patrol (180) 1940 points +2CP ( first turn maximum summoning) This will give your whole army the chance to outflank and if any of the ghouls from ghoul patrol survive you get d6 a turn and with two courtiers next to them with 12 dice needing 2+ to heal the ghouls isn't bad. And on top of that you add three units of horrors for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekamouse Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 This is the list I've got. Arkhan is too good to pass up. I don't like the 10x Ghouls to start out. That can be quickly erased imo. LEADERS Abhorrant Ghoul King on Terrorgheist (400) Abhorrant Ghoul King on Terrorgheist (400) Crypt Ghast Courtier (80) Arkhan The Black Mortarch of Sacrament (320) UNITS 20 x Crypt Ghouls (200) 20 x Crypt Ghouls (200) 20 x Crypt Ghouls (200) BATTALIONS Ghoul Patrol (180) TOTAL: 1980/2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heroflegend21 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I don't think the ghouls can be wiped out in one turn. And if one survives it's back up to starting health. I understand arkhan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XReN Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Sooo, have anyone converted Vargulf courtiers? (couldn't find SCE-wannabe court here, but their Varghulf looks cool) From GW minis or not, doesn't really matter, I'd like to do something with him because I dislike the model (or build completely new one one from whatever), so any suggestions will be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think it probably came down to player skill/meta match up. At the top levels in any competitive game it comes down to how well you play as long as you bring the proper tools for the job.

I'm not saying ghoul patrol and nothing else I'm saying monster mash in cahoots with ghoul patrol giving your opponent an imminent threat and a growing threat. And then with Arkhan providing all the spells needed to be cast! Not only that your army has deep strike and with the two courtiers you summon won't die off unless your opponent focuses them.

And with this battalion it gives your ghouls some staying power and the chance to become a threat on their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honk Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 15 hours ago, CanHammer-darren said: You can’t run a decent ghoul patrol and still have space for 4 big guys You can, but it is tricky to pull off. If you deploy the patrol relatively defensively, maybe even with one unit starting on the board... sacrifice one unit to buff up the other ones, all depends on the pressure and you „adding“ d6, but as usual, who rolls most sixes tends to win. If you add only 1-2 per round nobody cares (well, except you) if you get 5-6... Such lists are high risk high reward, if you pull it off, great, but if your opponent is able to wipe two units off the board and sits nice and tight on the objectives, you‘re in deep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanHammer-darren Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 What I meant is I feel that ghoul patrol needs lots of ghouls to really be worth the cost of the battallion. And it’s hard to find the points for enough ghouls if you need 4 big monsters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel it's as risky as advertised. I feel it puts your opponent in a position to choose where they focus or split their focus. Either on the slow or fast growing ghoul force that is on their side of the table or the monsters on the other end summoning support and more bodies while being major threats themselves. And if the opponent is unable to completely kill off the ghouls between two courtiers they will regenerate pretty quickly. 14 hours ago, CanHammer-darren said: What I meant is I feel that ghoul patrol needs lots of ghouls to really be worth the cost of the battallion. And it’s hard to find the points for enough ghouls if you need 4 big monsters And the strength from ghoul patrol isn't maxing out the ghouls it's the fact that you are getting more ghouls for the points you pay for them which is screaming value. And if your opponent wastes a damage trying to wipe them from the table and fail they are popping back up real fast and growing on top of that. I feel the combination of monster mash and ghoul patrol is far better than one or the other! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanHammer-darren Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Literally. Do you have points for 4 behemoths and a courtier and 3 ghoul units and the battallion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
